How about anthrax vaccine and Cipro? Those two things would protect someone handling the stuff, nay?

The military *anthrax vaccine* remains unproven and with resultant potential side effects, to include blindness and death, and weaponized military variants of anthrax may well be much less succeptable to post-exposure prophylactic treatment with Cipro or other antibiotics.

If I were in the position of packaging such materials in a home lab enviornment, I'd prefer to risk my life with the best anti-exposure gear I could come up with instead, investing heavily in military MOPP-4 chemical/biological warfare protective gear, to be worn over a closed-cell scuba diver's *drysuit* and air supply and readily available HAZMAT responder's protective equipment.

That, plus the basic *downwind* procedure described in the article should do it, followed by disposal of the contaminated gear by burning.
